The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to issues with ticket delivery, refund policies, and customer service responsiveness. Many customers report being charged exorbitant fees, receiving invalid tickets, and facing unresponsive support channels, leading to frustrations and claims of being scammed. While some customers appreciate the variety of events offered, the overwhelming sentiment reflects a lack of trust and reliability. The company's rigid policies regarding refunds, particularly for postponed events, further exacerbate negative perceptions, suggesting a need for improved customer service and clearer communication.

Explain to me why this company needs to charge over 60.00 PER TICKET for a service fee. That's right! 120.00 plus price of your tickets and of course the tax. I was able to print my tickets without difficulty however. This is a concert we really wanted to see badly. So I just closed my eyes hit accept then took a shot of vodka!
Ordered tickets which I received by the date promised, which is great. The tickets we purchased said seating is between rows A-W. I don't know how they are selected but we received row P. I doubt if there is any front row tickets in the A to L rows. They are not being deceitful because it is between A-W, just beware.
I loved that this website was so easy to explore when I purchased my tickets.So easy to select the tickets and a smooth transaction after the purchase.
Lowest prices I found for the same seats as other sites charged, if not better. Will give them my business next time I need tickets I wasn't able to purchase from original site of sales
Well to date I haven't received my tickets so I can't really can't give a review. If you could forward my tickets or let me know when I might receive them that would be good. Thank you
I ordered tickets back in Oct. For this Friday night, Eric Church. Still NO emails or anything. I tried to online chat and got no attendant twice... worried
The tickets were actually available that I had requested and delivered within minutes of placing my order even though the initial message to me was that they would be delivered by February 25th. The later date made me a bit nervous since the event is on the 26th. The tickets popped into my email literally within minutes of me finalizing my order. Thank you
I bought Chance tickets yesterday for my daughter and have not received any confirmation or acceptance e-mail 24 hours later? So far not impressed, they have a big sum of my money and after reading the reviews, I am getting nervous that I may have been taken for $450. What is going on?
The service was easy to use and I received my order quickly! I would definitely use OnlineCity Tickets in the future
Easy ton use and find tickets. It think the fees that come with purchasing the ticket were outrageously high.
Very easy transaction, super easy. Great seats, glad I was able to get them. Should be an awesome concert. Hope everyone will have a good time.
Quick and fast, very simple and secure process. I recived my tickets a few minutes later. I think It could be cheaper.
Purchased tickets the day of the show and was very satisfied. The seats were great and the instant download made it very convenient
I was able to get good seats for just about the same price the venue was selling them for. It was nice to be able to print the tickets right after the purchase too.
They try to sell tickets before they are even available, and then won't let you cancel EVEN IF YOU BUY INSURANCE. Total and complete scam.
Fue muy rápido y fácil de comprar el costo fue más caro, y aún no sé cuáles serán nuestros asientos, cuando los compre solo tenía una opción de envío y al siguiente día era otra
This site is user friendly. My tickets were delivered right away. Good customer service and follow up.
I had never used Online City Tickets before, so was a bit skeptical. The only thing I did really care for was I was unable to pick the seat. Section and row yes but not the seat. We'll see how it goes once we attend the show.
First timer using this. Awaiting my 2 tickets. Will let you know after I get them. I'm excited to see Journey the band!
Answer: In my case, they sent e-mail that the tickets would be forthcoming. When I failed to receive them the week before the concert, per e-mail download as promised, I called their #, the person on the other end told me that it was will-call at the box-office with the copy of the e-mail I needed to bring. The box office told me that as a 2nd line seller, they did not keep them there. When I called to ask why they did this to me and demanded re-imbursal, they sent the tickets per e-mail download THE DAY AFTER THE CONCERT. They tried to cover their tracks with the credit card company, the problem for them was that the time stamp of their sending the tickets reflected the day after the concert. So essentially, they are not even competent as rip-off artists.
Answer: So sorry to hear you have been conned by this outfit. Apparently sometimes they DO send valid tickets, so I hope you are one of the lucky ones. I suggest you tell your credit card company (by phone and IN WRITING) that you are disputing this charge. Also tell everyone you know to avoid this rip-off company. I know this doesnt help you now, but in the future buy tickets only from Ticketmaster (I've never had a problem with them). Good luck.
Answer: I couldn't even open the download so I called the number and all I got was an answering system to send email and I did but no reply from them so the next day a call about 50 times until I got someone. After getting transferred to 3 different people and waiting about an hour for the supervisor the guy told me no refunds are allowed but money is 100% guarantee if it doesn't work at the time of the event. So I'm praying to God they are good the event isn't until the end of November
Answer: They are scoundrels. I know where their office is and went by there recently. I am laying out a plan.
Answer: If you have already purchased your tickets from this outfit, good luck. They sent me tickets for a concert in Tennessee and I asked for and live in Florida. They said it was MY mistake and that I asked for TN. They supposedly tried to resell the tickets and couldn't so I was out $300.00 for two tickets. They have something like 130 complaints and are a scam outfit. Next time order elsewhere and good luck with these tickets.
Answer: I just cancelled my order because they never sent the tickets. At least you got yours so maybe they will be okay. I would call the arena where the event will be and ask them how many issues they have had with this company. I emailed five times and they always sent an automated response back. Then, when I was in a meeting at work they finally called and the number just read, "33333" when they called me. No return phone number... very strange. They left a message to call them so I did immediately after my meeting (15 minutes)... the automated system was up and did not allow me to speak with a person. Thus far, I have never spoken to a real person when I call their number. I disputed the purchase, got my money back and bought tickets for much less at StubHub. I was surprised because my last tickets at Stubhub were kind of expensive... but these tickets (McCartney) were not too crazy expensive. Anyway, best of luck, and I would make a back up plan.
Answer: You will get your tickets, but they will likely have someone else's name printed on them. Worst of all, they will most likely not be honored at the gate/box office. My advice is to get a refund NOW and buy tickets from a reputable outlet like Ticketmaster. City Online are thieves and scammers. See my review about James Taylor concert in Norfolk, Virginia.
Answer: Contact the venue, give them all the details on the tickets received and verify if U will be able to legitimately use the tickets, considering the issues with this company that are so overwhelming. My experience reviewing all the people who describe their issues with them is that even if the tickets are usable, the overpayment is so excessive that it would have been better dealing with the regular ticket outlet for the venue.
Answer: Yes Ann, you will get your tickets. You just over paid by a HUGE amount... but other then that, the company is legit. They are just robbers the way they do it... thats all. Have a good time and yes, at least now you learned a lesson (like all of us on this site);-)
